National Council of Women's Societies, also known by its acronym NCWS, is a Nigerian non-governmental and non-partisan women's organization composed of a network of independent women organizations in Nigeria binding together to use NCWS' platform to advocate gender welfare issues to the government and society.
Though criticized by some for its lukewarm opposition and warm reception to government policies, Justice Nzeako, a former NCWS president emphasized that the organization is "apolitical but acts as a pressure group to make the government amend its ways".
